Yesterday afternoon I picked up abook called "Playing with Trains: A Passion Beyond Scale" bu Sam Posey, the former professional raceing driver and current auto racing commentator and analyst for the Speed Channel.I finished it about an hour ago. It's a tremendous book about model railroading, its impact on him, and an analysis of why we all enjoy this hobby. While writing this book he spent time with Dave Frary, Malcome Furlow, and several other of the legends of model railroading, (and he even mentions MSTS.)Worthwhile reading; I'm be interested on others' comments as you find the time to read it.Nick

RE: Read this book!
YES! Sam lives in the town next to me and I see him from time to time. He sounds like a really cool guy, sportscaster, Model Railroader, and racecar driver among other things.-Dave
Thanks for the review. Looks very interesting. I just reserved a copy at my local library. Gary Cameron Grande Prairie "The last civilized stop before Alaska," AB Canada
